Tb« time is a wintery sight. The scene is near Aiurfresboro Ten nessee. Out from the darkness of a som bre thicket, into the fields adjoin ing issued a horseman, cautiously peering into the gloom, be stands for a moment with ear bent iuw to catch any noise that would betray the proximity ’of human beings He wears a heavy military cloak closely buttoned over his breast and turned up at the collar.

Five minutes in this listining at itude stands horse and rider the former intelligent animal seems to know hie rider wishes to pre serve utmost silence for as by a low word the soldier urges him for ward, he moves as gingerly as if his life depended upon his remain ing unperceived. The field is al most across, when out from the woodland near by darts a score of or more cavalrymen and charge upon the single horsemen; before he can turn io fly they are upon him, saber flashing jand pistols in hand. It is d?a’h to resist an d death to surrender !sO with attliil cer«d imprecation at the ill luck ! that brings his foes upon him, be bas drnwn bis sword and pistol i and as the caiveroade came abreast ‘ of him be filed right into the face of the men on his left, and with i his sword cute the man on bis right down.

The first rosy Hash of that fata I day steals into the cheek of the sky, and as the moments go by the pink of the eastern lip of the horizon deepens and broadens until the whole face of the sky is crimson as a sweet girl at the first low breath of whispered loro; and now it is aflame, for yonder slowly opens th eye of day whore the lid of the earth meets that of the sky. As the ran leaves the rim of the world aud floats out into the heav ens, a dosen horsemen are seen ap proaching a huge oak tree, whose long arms roach far out as if to afford shelter from the sun aud nun to any paseer-by. Halting banrath sou of the forest aud emblsm of strength, the party dismount* and as they do so it may be seM that one of their number is a prisoner, from the fact that his hands are tiod behind, while the man nearest nim bears a long hampen ropo. The prisoner is the one captured three nights before He is very pale in spite of the natural dark ness of hie skin.

After a few unceriinonious pre tentions tbe noose is thrown over 'be prisoners head, the other end being thrown over a limb of the tree. A score of Yankee bands grasp the loosened end aud begin to draw it taunt when— Crack I bang! Andas the report of the shot floats off on the morning breezes two of the Yankee executors fall dead while three others give a cry of pain, aud the whole detacment quietly mount their horses and are away leaving their prisoner behind unhurt, before tbe Johnny Re be can reach them.
